Chapter 18 Soldiers are victorious, but not long
ps: Spring and Autumn has been changed
……
The room was quiet, and Shu Qi and Zhao Mu, who were playing on the side, also stopped their movements and gathered around to listen to Chang Anjun and Zhao Kuo's discussion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Two hundred years ago, Wu Sun Tzu once said: Where the method of war is used, thousands of cars are galloped, thousands of leather cars are carried, 100,000 armor is carried out, and food is fed for thousands of miles. Then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the material of glue paint, the dedication of the car armor, the daily cost of thousands of gold, and then 100,000 teachers. ”
"This is even more true now, as my father and Qi An Pingjun said, in today's world, the world is divided into seven warring states, and each country must bear 100,000 or 200,000 people to be enough to fight the enemy's territory. Since the cost of fighting a war is so great, the army needs to win a quick victory, and if it drags on for too long, the army will inevitably be tired and lose its spirit. A long period of fighting abroad will also lead to a shortage of domestic finances, and the people will be tired, and other princes will inevitably take advantage of the fire to loot. As a result, even the resourceful have no good plan to save the day. Therefore, the protracted and beneficial things of the war have never been heard of! Clever generals will strive for quick victory, even if it is a clumsy quick victory, it is better than a long time! ”
After saying this set of theories in "Wu Sun Tzu's Art of War", Zhao Kuo said proudly: "Therefore, the soldiers are expensive to win, not for a long time, if it is really as Chang'an Jun said, my handsome army will win a decisive battle with the enemy in the land of the mountains and valleys of Shangdang, I should attack with all my might, break it in one fell swoop, and never delay!" ”
The more Zhao Kuo spoke, the more excited he became, as if the thousands of troops and horses were really under his command, and he easily defeated the enemy, but the more Mingyue listened, the more his heart sank, and he always felt that Zhao Kuo was heading for a point of no return.
So he interrupted Zhao Kuo's delusional thoughts: "Wait, the strength of the two armies is equal, even if the clan brother drives the army to attack, how can he be sure of victory?" If you are defeated by the enemy, trapped to death, and overwhelmed by the army, is it not worse than a long battle? ”
Zhao Kuo did not hesitate, raised his head, and said loudly: "Chang'an Jun's words are wrong, you also said just now, the battlefield is in the land of Shangdang mountains and rivers valleys, the road is far and dangerous, such a situation is quite similar to the battle of Yanhe, and similar means should be taken." ”
"The battle of the Eunuch?" Mingyue somewhat understood, this was Zhao Hao's proud work.
I saw Zhao Kuo dip his index finger in some water, and drew a map on the desk, moving quickly, it can be seen that I don't know how many times I have depicted it.
Soon, a sketchy map of Zhao and Korea was completed, and Zhao Kuo poked at Hedong County of Qin to the west of Korea and said: "Four years ago, on the grounds that Zhao did not fulfill the agreement to exchange cities, the King of Qin sent Hu Yang to lead an army to cross Shangdang County in Korea from west to east to attack our land. ”
"It is located in the upper reaches of Zhangshui, more than 300 miles away from Handan in the southeast, and is a dangerous pass in the northwest of Handan."
At that time, the first king summoned Lian Po and Le Cheng respectively and asked how to rescue Yan You. Lian Po replied that the road was far away, the terrain was steep and narrow, and it was difficult to save it urgently. To be safe, it is necessary to defend Wu'an City first and then make plans. Hey, the old general is competitive whenever there is a reward, but when he encounters a battle to the death, he retreats. ”
When mentioning Lian Po, Zhao Kuo had a hint of contempt and disdain in his words, which showed that he did not admire this veteran who was as famous as his father, and even regarded him as a brave and mediocre person.
"At the same time, although Le Cheng is a dead member of the clan of Wangzhu Jun Le Yi, but in the face of this battle, he is as brave as Lian Po to save it, after all, the opponent is the Qin army, the Qin army that has won a hundred battles!"
After stepping on Lian Po and Le Cheng's faces, and unconcealing his disdain, Zhao Kuo said with fascination: "In the end, the first king asked my father for advice, and my father replied, Yan and Handan are the western gateways of Handan, once lost, the connection between the west of Taihang and Handan will be cut off, and Taiyuan may not be able to be saved, and it must be saved." This is far away from the road, the terrain is steep and narrow, and neither of the two armies of Zhao and Qin has an advantage, just like two rats fighting in the same hole, the brave wins! ”
"So the first king appointed his father as a general to rescue Yan You."
In Zhao Kuo's next narration, Mingyue was able to know the whole picture of the battle.
The Qin general Hu Yang first besieged Wu'an City, wanting to lure Zhao Jun to come, so he could surround and send reinforcements. However, Zhao Hao was not fooled, and after leaving Handan, he was stunned for 28 days, and he was cowardly and did not dare to enter.
So Hu Yang thought that Zhao Hao had no courage, so he assured himself to attack Yan He, who expected, but the situation changed abruptly, Zhao Hao was stagnant for a long time, after showing the enemy weak, he suddenly ordered the army to set off lightly, and the armor was in a hurry!
For two days and one night, the Zhao army marched 300 miles in a hurry, arrived at Yanhe, and appeared in the rear of the Qin army.
Zhao Hao did not immediately confront Hu Yang, but first occupied Beishan, the commanding heights of Yan He. At this time, the winner of the battle really became a contest of who was brave and who won.
The Qin army attacked upwards along the valley, while the Zhao army swooped down from the mountain. If it was on flat ground, the Qin army might have a slight advantage, but between this and the other, the Zhao army took the lead with the help of the force of the dive. Coupled with the narrow mountain road, only the sergeants closest to the front line on both sides had a chance to fight, and the crossbowmen of the rear team of the Zhao army, taking advantage of the terrain, continued to shoot at the Qin army in the narrow road.
In this battle, the Qin army suffered a big loss because it did not occupy the land, and in less than a day, the Qin army lost most of it and retreated.
The battle of Yanhe achieved such a huge result, and such a great victory of the six eastern countries against the Qin army can be traced back to the era of Wu Qi, the general of Wei more than a hundred years ago. King Zhao Huiwen solemnly commended Zhao Hao, who had made great achievements in the world, and named Zhao Hao as Ma Fujun, and his status was equivalent to that of Lian Po and Lin.
"The two armies are fighting, for example, two rats fighting in the hole, meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins! That's how my father's battle was won! ”
After talking about the battle between Yan and Yan, Zhao Kuo repeated this sentence again, and then slammed a punch at the location of the "Shangdang" on the map of the case that was about to dry up.
"Therefore, if I fight with the enemy army in the future, I will also remember my father's words, personally commanding the army, occupying a high fortress, and defeating the enemy with courage, and never procrastinating in the near future, wasting money, food and people's livelihood, and damaging national strength."
When he said this, Zhao Kuo's eyes were not rebellious and unconvinced in front of Zhao Hao during the day, but his face was full of longing and admiration......
And naivety.
This time, Mingyue understood everything.
No matter how rebellious Zhao Kuo looks, how stubborn and arrogant he is, there is one thing that cannot be changed. That is everything Zhao Kuo does, standing in the shadow of his father, he may want to break free and go his own way, but in the end, his every move is still imitating Zhao Hao......
He wants to become a world-famous general like Zhao Hao.
He wanted to prove that he was worthy of being the son of Ma Fujun.
History has given him a chance, but it is an opportunity for him to be infamous through the ages......
His fate may have been doomed from the moment he became Zhao Hao's son and was completely hidden in his father's shadow!
Covering the Zhao army, including also!
